E-bike legislation. Here in BC Canada, you're limited to 500W motor and 32KPH. while I have no problem with the speed limit, I think they should allow up to at least 1000w motors. Heavier individuals such as myself would crush a 500w motor.

Early access and beta and alpha terms for games. Also, early access has a time limit.

Alpha - we're adding and removing features.
Beta - we're 90% polishing 10% adding/removing.
Early access - just fixing bugs. Maximum 3 to 6 months.

You can stay in alpha and beta as long as you want. I don't want to change game dev actuality. I just want the terms to reflect what's actually going on.

Bumper height of vehicles.

Glassware must be rated to survive short drop onto wood floor at a minimum.

(The fitted sheets we have do have tags for top and bottom with hanging tag at bottom. I would say just don't give them hanging tags at all.)

I would make the written English language 100% phonetic.

I would make SI mandatory in the US.

I would make one night a week a "have dinner with the neighbors" day.

Edit: I would make bidet toilets mandatory. Dry toilets would be phased out like cars without back-up cameras or asbestos insulation.

Grapefruit from the supermarket must always taste of grapefruit.

The THC content of edibles. It's unregulated in NYC so everything seemingly has between 30mg and 1250mg while I'm sitting here with a 10mg hard limit. A few states have a 5mg or 10mg per serving limit and it's wonderful

No more street lights. Nighttime is now dark the way it should be.

Drinking straws are too wide/girthy on average. Every fast food and coffee place uses giant straws, while a relatively skinny straw provides a vastly superior drinking experience, in my view.

Emergency brakes should be a handle that pulls a mechanical cable that directly actuates the rear brakes. Simple and reliable, like you would want in an emergency.
